Morgawr

In the 1970s, Britain witnessed an extraordinary phenomenon that became known as the 'Falmouth Bay Monster', known as Morgawr, which means 'sea giant' in Cornish.

In the late 1970s, the case of the so-called Falmouth Bay Monster, or Morgawr—meaning "sea giant" in Cornish—became famous in Great Britain. On March 5, 1976, a local newspaper published a letter signed "Mary F." Attached to the letter were two photographs depicting the silhouette of a large creature with two distinct humps on its back, a long neck, and a small head. Mary F.—who has remained anonymous to this day—wrote that she had taken the photograph a month earlier, near Rosemullion Head in Falmouth Bay. Unfortunately, a thorough analysis revealed that the photographs were almost certainly fakes. Fortunately, this wasn't the only evidence of Morgawr's existence. On July 10, 1985, writer Sheila Bird and her brother, Dr. Eric Bird, were walking along the cliff edge above Falmouth Bay when they spotted the creature in the water. They had binoculars with them, so they were able to get a closer look at the creature. According to their accounts, the creature was about 5-6 meters long, with gray, mottled skin, a long, slender neck ending in a small head, two large protruding humps, and a long tail visible just below the surface.
